Real Communication

I am very surprise at the challenges this assignment has brought me.  I easily came up with a list of people I found to be incompetent communicators.  but continue to struggle identifying a competent one that I would like to model.  I believe it is because I appreciate the communication skills from a variety of people.  "I see strength in her directness, but she can come off as very harsh."  "Her she is so patient with the children, but comes off insecure with the parents."  "Shes sounds very confident, but is there anything she is not an expert at?"  That being said, I find my co-work to be  very competent communicator.  I appreciate the kind words she uses when disciplining her students.  She is able to keep an even tone, calmness in her voice when she believes something is a problem.  She ask questions if she does not understand something.  I try to remain calm and never let them see me sweat but inside there is a fire erupting so I don't dear say a word.  It's not a good.
